Does Roblox Lua Not Have MouseButton1Click Anymore? Its Not Working For Me.

Asked 565 views1 answers

Hey there, so I am making a starting screen and I'm using a local script to manage it, but it says

07:24:35.065 - MouseButton1Click is not a valid member of ScreenGui

###Can anybody debunk this myth?

The script is inside my screen GUI holding everything that I am referencing to with locals. As well as plzplaybutton is a textbutton.

local screenGOOEY = script.Parent.screenthing
local playbutton = screenGOOEY.plzplaybutton

local function clicknomorescreenGOOEY()
	screenGOOEY.Visible = false
	print("screenGOOEY no longer visible hah")
end


script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(clicknomorescreenGOOEY)

Thanks,

Narwhal

Does Roblox Lua Not Have MouseButton1Click Anymore? Its Not Working For Me.

Answer

Yes, it does. The problem is found in your error.

07:24:35.065 - MouseButton1Click is not a valid member of ScreenGui

MouseButton1Click isn't a signal of ScreenGui's however it is a signal of TextButton's and such.

Instead, :Connect the .MouseButton1Click signal of a different object other than script.Parent since script.Parent is a ScreenGui such as a button.

In the case of your code you have a playbutton variable which is a TextButton so connect that.

playbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(<name of your function>)
